Begin Cultivation

The night passed without a word.

"Is this the power of chakra?"

As a dazzling ray of sunlight shone upon Yun Xi's handsome face, he concluded his night of cultivation.

He slowly stood up.

Yun Xi discovered that after this night of training, not only had his body been significantly strengthened, but he had also noticed an astonishing change!

The amount of chakra within his body had more than doubled!

One had to know that before Yun Xi had transmigrated, this body possessed only a meager amount of chakra.

Yet, after just one night of cultivation...

The amount of chakra Yun Xi now possessed could even reach the level of a genin!

One night.

Going from an ordinary person to a genin!

Let alone Yun Xi himself, even prodigies with heaven-defying talent like Uchiha Itachi or Sasuke could not achieve this!

"This system is truly powerful..."

Yun Xi had once thought that the system he obtained was merely a piece of junk.

But...

Now it seemed that was not the case at all.

At the very least, Yun Xi now possessed the ability to protect himself!

With a genin-level amount of chakra, coupled with a pair of single-tomoe Sharingan, he should have no problem dealing with some ordinary genin!

"Next is to practice the Fire Release ninjutsu that Uchiha Itachi gave me!"

Whether it was the influence of the chakra in his body or some other reason, Yun Xi did not feel any sleepiness or fatigue after practicing all night. After washing up, he had no intention of resting.

Instead, he slowly took the Fire Release ninjutsu scroll that Uchiha Itachi had given him into his hands.

Then, he headed straight toward the mountains behind Konoha...

Practicing ninjutsu was different from cultivating chakra.

The latter could be completed in any quiet place, while practicing ninjutsu required a large open area and constant practice and experimentation.

Yun Xi's home did not have a very suitable place for training.

To avoid burning his own house down...

Going up the mountain was the best choice!

With the enhancement of chakra, the journey that originally took half an hour only took Yun Xi a little over ten minutes today.

And while saving half the time, Yun Xi did not feel any fatigue!

He casually wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then Yun Xi opened the Fire Release ninjutsu training scroll that Uchiha Itachi had given him.

The content recorded on this scroll was not much, containing only five ninjutsu.

But for Yun Xi, they were very suitable!

"Let's start with this one: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

After locking onto his target, Yun Xi looked at Uchiha Itachi's training notes while constantly attempting the hand seals.

Although Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was only a C-rank Fire Release ninjutsu, its combat capability was very powerful.

Not only was its attack range extremely wide, but its power was also not to be underestimated.

The most important reason Yun Xi chose this ninjutsu was actually because it did not require much chakra.

Such a simple, mana-efficient, and versatile ninjutsu was undoubtedly Yun Xi's best choice!

"Fire Release!"

"Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

After familiarizing himself with it for about an hour, Yun Xi finally began to attempt to release this ninjutsu...

But the result...

Caught Yun Xi somewhat by surprise.

As Yun Xi finished the hand seals and channeled his chakra to gather in his mouth...

Yun Xi exhaled with force!

Only a dozen or so flames, each about the size of a lighter, appeared...

Let alone lethality.

After seeing this scene, Yun Xi even doubted they would be enough to cook a meal...

"What the hell!"

Seeing the Fire Release ninjutsu he had unleashed, an embarrassed look appeared on Yun Xi's face as he muttered, "Is this supposed to be the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique?"

The Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.

It should be considered one of the most famous Fire Release ninjutsu in the Hokage world.

Not only did Uchiha Sasuke use it extensively in the early stages of the plot, but Kage-level big shots like Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Obito were all capable of using this technique.

It could be considered a staple ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, Yun Xi had a deep impression of this technique.

In Yun Xi's memory, after the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was released, the flames spat from the user's mouth would scatter in all directions like exploding seeds of a balsam flower, attacking the enemy from every angle.

Furthermore, once one mastered this technique, they could control all the released flames with chakra, leaving the enemy with nowhere to dodge.

Beyond being visually spectacular, its power was also astonishing!

But...

The Phoenix Sage Fire Technique released by Yun Xi was lacking, to say the least...

Not to mention whether the released flames could be controlled by Yun Xi's chakra.

It couldn't even achieve basic lethality...

"This is impossible!"

As the previously released flames gradually extinguished, Yun Xi began to doubt his own existence!

Comparing his actions once more against the Fire Release training methods left behind by Uchiha Itachi and the Fire Release training insights rewarded by the system, Yun Xi could not find any obvious errors in how he had performed the ninjutsu.

And Yun Xi was no ordinary person!

When practicing Fire Release ninjutsu, this body of his had already received the system's enhancements.

First, the bloodline enhancement of the Uchiha clan.

Then, the special Ichiraku Ramen as a boost!

Although Yun Xi hadn't held high hopes before the release, he absolutely never expected that his first attempt at this Fire Release ninjutsu would turn out like this...

"System, don't tell me you didn't give me the reward!"

In an instant, a thought occurred to Yun Xi.

He immediately questioned the system in an extremely serious tone.

But...

The system did not offer any explanation...

At this moment, a few black lines appeared on Yun Xi's face...

"Your chakra is too scarce..."

Just as Yun Xi was questioning his life, a cold voice reached his ears once again.

"Who's there?"

Hearing this, Yun Xi turned his head immediately.

He took a look.

He discovered it was that guy Uchiha Itachi, and he was accompanied by a cool little boy.

"Although there were no obvious errors when you released the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique earlier, and your timing was very precise, your chakra volume is not enough to support the formation of the full Phoenix Sage Fire Technique."

Uchiha Itachi spoke, explaining the reason for Yun Xi's failure while leading the little boy toward him.

Then, Uchiha Itachi signaled for the little boy beside him to sit down before walking up to Yun Xi.

As his hands moved rapidly through the hand seals, he said to Yun Xi, "Watch carefully. If you encounter a situation where your chakra is insufficient, you can appropriately reduce the number of flames to increase the power of the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

With that, a complete Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was released from Uchiha Itachi's mouth!

Although this Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was different from the ordinary version.

There was only one flame...

But...

Compared to the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique from the original work, the one Uchiha Itachi released at this moment was clearly far more powerful!
